Top 10 items to buy during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access 2017:

Jeans: Last year at the Anniversary Sale, we purchased our first pair of this brand jeans; we have loved them and worn them over and over. This pair is at the top of our list now! Also we love these split hem jeans at a lower price but so on point for style and a classic legging jean with frayed hem is a great option.

Makeup and Beauty: Moving from summer to fall means a slight, but definite change in our makeup palette. With all the eye color and lip color sets available on the Anniversary Sale, this is the perfect time to plan ahead and add some new color. A couple of our favorites are this eye and cheek collection (what a great value!) and this lip pencil/lip color duo.

Activewear: We always purchase new activewear during the Sale; the styles are fresh and the prices are just so good! These leggings, this sports bra and this pullover are must haves.

Coat/Jacket: Anniversary Sale is the time to add a leather jacket to the closet and this one is our top pick. Military/utility jackets will be strong this Fall- this one is our favorite. Also, it’s always a good idea to get your new winter coat during Anniversary Sale, this is the top pick in our book.

Watch/Jewelry: This is the time to invest in a watch at a great price. We love Michele watches because of their versatility with watch strap options and this is about the only time you will ever find them on sale!

Designer Splurge: If you are ever going to splurge, now is the time! This over the knee boot is a great choice. We bought our first pair at Anniversary Sale a few year ago and never regretted it. We also are crazy over this leather tote bag and think it’s a great choice for your splurge!

When you’re done shopping for your Fall and Winter must haves, don’t forget to check out the men’s and kids sale! We are about to start shopping for William and our husbands next 😉Three $100 Nordstrom Gift Cards

Happy Wednesday! How amazing are these pumps?! We are loving the velvet trend this fall, but we have yet to find many pieces to add to our wardrobe. We have a pair of slip on sneakers in burgundy velvet- love them 🙂 Thinking possibly a pair of pumps or heeled sandals would be fun! We just ordered these jeans– hoping they work out… or maybe a dress like this one. Have you guys embraced the velvet trend yet? What are your favorite ways to wear velvet?
